The Lively Plan for Reclaiming the Republic
"The centerpiece of this plan is the Article 5 Convention of States, which conservatives should not confuse with the 'runaway Constitutional Convention of 1787' when this nation was called the 'Confederation of States,' not the 'United States.' No Article 5 Convention of States has EVER been held, but the option can be assumed to be a safe process since it was deliberately adopted by the Founders in 1789 as a part of the brand new United States Constitution, which was written by the Founders specifically to fix the problems raised in and by 1787 event, when those problems were still fresh in their minds.
"Now that the entire federal government has been hijacked by the left, the genius of the founders in including a Convention of States in Article 5 is now made clear. As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 85, it�s purpose was to provide a mechanism to 'erect barriers against the encroachments of the national authority.' The Marxists now have absolute top-down authority that will be impossible to break by traditional means. But the Founders gave us a back-door to solve this very problem. My plan is to use it to the fullest to restore citizen controls from the bottom up.
"(This article has been corrected based upon a reader comment pointing out the distinction between the oft-condemned Constitutional Convention or 'ConCon' of 1787 and the 'Convention of States' option of Article 5, which has never been used since the adoption of the United States Constitution in 1789.)"
